Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

Is your corn bread getting a little "ho-hum"? Give it a little kick in the pants with this super easy recipe from Hispanic Kitchen! You can use any cornbread recipe or box mix that you'd like, but I'll give you our recipe in case you need one.

We ate this with venison chili on Early Christmas. Not your traditional Christmas meal I know, but man was it GOOD! Te-Man ate 2 slices :)

*If you want it extra spicy, you could leave out the red pepper and use an entire cup of jalapenos

What's In It:1/4 c crisco or lard1 c yellow corn meal1 c all purpose flour2 T sugar4 t baking powder1/2 t salt1 c milk1 egg, beatenWhat To Do With It:Place crisco in a large cast iron skillet (I use my 10 or 12"). Place the skillet into the oven and preheat it to 400 degrees F. While the crisco is melting, combine all dry ingredients in a large metal bowl. Once crisco is melted, tilt pan carefully to coat the bottom and then pour melted oil into bowl containing dry ingredients. Add in milk and egg. Stir to combine.

About Me

Most of all I enjoy spending time with my beautiful family! I have been truly blessed to find my Wolverine. He is the most incredible man I have ever met, my best friend and my partner in crime! We have the 2 most amazing kids - Ze-Ra and Te-Man and they are quite the adventure! I LOVE doing anything outside - gardening, hiking, walking, camping, biking, mowing the grass, I even enjoy weeding the garden (a little). I have an addiction to my kitchen - I cook, I can, I bake, and I EAT! I also have a love affair with my sewing machine. That love affair has led me to open my own diaper shop at http://hyenacart.com/stores/honeybeebottoms/ :)
